Your freshly baked 1:12 scale miniature waffles or pancakes will not look real yet. They need to have a toasted or baked surface.
Mix up a solution of brown acrylic paint, or use appropriate artist’s pastels or a watercolor pencil to create color on the upper edges of the waffle pattern (or all except the outside edge of a pancake). Use a dry brush technique to apply acrylic paint if that is what you are using, you want the polymer clay surface to show through. Use fixatives after applying watercolor or artist’s pastels if you use them instead so that your dolls house food can handled without losing its color.
